Beelzebub asked:


I am making money hand over fist with my MLM company and sponsoring people and selling product all over the place. However, I am still living out of my car because I have not CHOSEN to live in an apartment. People in my downline, who should be looking up to me because I represent a successful MLM upline, are talking behind my back and I know it. What is their problem?

Is there even a single MLM company that focuses more on sales than recruiting?

Marcello asked:


I just want to hear about one MLM company, just one, where the emphasis is on sales, not on recruiting.
Let me clarify, I am in no way interested in joining any MLM, so don’t bother. I am merely interested in hearing if any MLM’s exist that actually are about sales, and not a pyramid scheme. And please, don’t tell me focusing predominantly on recruiting to make money is not pyramiding.
Mexico4me, i think you need learn what leverage actually is rather than just accepting a term from your MLM buddies.

In your silly example you merely transfered the hours worked to your downline without changing the total hours worked. Suddenly we are to believe that you are still making the same amount of money working no hours yet your downline makes money as well? So because you merely spread the hours worked out among more people the company is paying out more money? Right. Do the math.

This is my EXACT point. MLM is set up with the mentality that its better to make money by recruiting people than it is to work hard.

You are delusional if you suggest that is about sales first. You have said in prior answers that no one sells enough personal volume to make a living without a downline and that is precisely why MLM is flawed. Its about making money recruiting (a pyramid) not about sales. The fact that some product is sold doesn’t negate that fact.
Sunny, saying MLM is part franchising is merely MLM tag lines, aka propaganda to justify to the naive.

Think about what you are suggesting. Most people are not sales driven, yet you are telling them its the same as a franchise.

Can you actually imagine a franchise operation that didn’t first sell product? Gee, your new franchise is not moving any product, here is the answer, just open up more franchises! Brilliant.

Only in MLM are foolish principals like this accepted as intelligent.

I just dont get it. It takes years to make a profit with anybusiness, and it takes large capital and alot of effort. But, with many mlm/home businesses, it only takes $97 to $500 to start and most of the business and website is setup for you. Why do so many uneducated idiots think they are pyramid scams? Madoff investments was a pyramid scam///mlms aren’t. Why do idiots think they are??

Why are so many people against Direct Selling / MLM / Internet Marketing?

VeggieCandleLady asked:


Do people REALLY know what they’re talking about? And have all those against these means of creating an at home income, really have personal experience? Or is it something they have “heard” or “Assumed” ?
Is it that people want something for nothing? So who’s fault is that? Are people basically lazy? Who’s fault is that? Having your own business something that has to be worked at. If you were going to rent a space and have a store front, would you get that for no money? Do people think that customers are just going to flock into your store just because it’s “you”? This is really a no brainer. Things are too easy for Americans. Always someone elses fault and they want something for nothing. What are your thoughts?

Bolaji A asked:


I have a 3 X 7 matrix with fixed commission of $1.5 for all levels derived from a membership fee of $5 per year.
While testing the program, I discovered that the membership fee is not enough to pay the referal commission.
Is there a rule of thumb?
